LUNA - SHIH TZU (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). **We cannot guarantee that Luna is allergy-friendly just because she doesn't shed.** Don't let her resting grumpy face fool you, Luna is one sweet girl! Luna is estimated to be around 6 years old, and she is a sweet, affectionate little lady who loves toys and her daily walks! She has the perfect amount of energy for someone who wants a lap dog, but also wants a buddy to explore the neighborhood with and convince them to go outside at least once a day. Luna is fully grown and weighs about 12lbs. Luna was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter. A family never came forward for her, and she was so scared at the shelter, so we wasted no time to scoop her up and place her in a YCSPCA foster home. She has been thriving in foster care and is so ready for a fresh start with her forever family. Luna has the serious little face typical of a Shih Tzu, but is a fun-loving girl who loves to follow her foster mom around and get lots of attention. She’s very energetic and not only loves walks, but also likes to jump up on the roof of one of her foster mom’s doghouses, like Snoopy, to get a better view around the backyard. At least part of the day, you can find Luna snoozing in one of the two full toy boxes at her foster home - did we mention she loves toys? Luna has been in a home with other small dogs, but she seems like she might prefer to be the princess of the house. She may do well with a small, mellow male dog. We haven't seen Luna around cats, but she might do well with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Luna has done well meeting kids and could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years and older. Luna appears to be housetrained and has been doing well sleeping in a crate overnight and while her foster mom is away. She has made it known that she would very much want to sleep in bed with you if you'd let her. Luna doesn't seem to have been taught things like sit and down, but she is an easy and well-mannered girl who could be a great first dog for someone looking for a fun-loving buddy. With proper exercise, she may do well living in an apartment. Luna has fur that grows like hair, and it requires regular brushing and routine professional grooming to keep it well-maintained and not get matted. Her new family should be prepared to take on this extra care and the costs of grooming. Luna is such an amazing little girl and deserves a family just as great as her.
